Diversifying the physician workforce is crucial for addressing healthcare disparities. Despite efforts to promote diversity, residency programs still have low representation of Black/African Americans. Our research, drawn from articles in the Temple University Libraries Database and Google Scholar Database up to March 2024, highlights differences in perceptions of program culture and racial diversity between URIM and non-URIM applicants. URIM applicants consider factors such as the authenticity of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts, as well as the racial climate when evaluating programs. Additionally, representation of URIM faculty and residents along with post-interview communication and events are important factors when assessing residency programs. There is limited literature on how Black/African American applicants' preferences influence diversity recruitment efforts. It is imperative for programs to incorporate feedback from URIM applicants to develop effective recruitment strategies and foster cultural shifts. By doing so, we can contribute to a more diverse and inclusive physician workforce capable of more effectively addressing health disparities that disproportionately affect Black/African Americans. / Urban Bioethics
